You know my trick for not getting my PC infected with spyware/adware etc.?
I use Windows 98! It hardly ever crashes, all my programs run sufficiently fast, I don't play games... So why the hell should I upgrade to Windows XP and invite all kinds of viruses, spyware etc. to infest my system?
Old software rulez!

Your premises about Win98 might (and I stress might), in your case, all be true. However, your conclusion about WinXP is so far from being a logical consequence of them as to be on its own extra-dimensional fallacy plane. Your argument is therefore total crap, sir.

Indeed. I'm sure that NASA and, er, God will be interested in this amazing copy of Win 98 that not only never gets spyware or viruses, but also somehow crashes less than WinXP. It truelly must be a blessed copy of the hold OS.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I suggest that after you get rid of that spyware you use Spybot Search and Destroy along with Lavasoft's Ad Aware for preventive maintenance.
